Our dance classes are designed to provide you with the technical foundations to reach your full potential as a dancer. Created by top performers and educational experts, the curriculum focuses on two key dance styles commonly found in Musical Theatre: Tap and Jazz.
While our Musical Theatre classes emphasize performance, this class is ideal for those who want to enhance their technical skills. Whether you’re aiming to join our Advanced Musical Theatre classes or considering a career in the arts, this is the perfect step to take your abilities to the next level.

FAQS
What do we need to wear for the classes?
We ask that our WestWayers wear all black for our classes but there is no prescriptive uniform as we want everyone to feel comfortable in what they are wearing. We do have some branded WestWay clothing which you can buy once you have signed-up, but this is not mandatory. We will be dancing so you will need to wear clothes you can move in. Trainers are fine but if you have jazz shoes or ballet pumps then even better! You do not need tap shoes if you do not already have them, but if you would like to continue with the class then it is recommended. We can help you source some.
What do I need to bring to the class?
We provide you with a WestWay bag, pencil, folder and water bottle as a free welcome gift. You will be required to bring these items to every session. Other than that we rarely ask you to bring anything else unless we are rehearsing for a show. Just bring lots of energy and a smile and that will be perfect!
Do I need to practise outside of the classes?
Practising is always a great idea to improve and develop your talent further. Plus we will be putting on performances and if you would like to take part you will need to learn the songs and dance routines. As we have small class sizes, we can adapt to the needs of the individual easily so let us know if there are any issues.
How many children are in the classes?
We pride ourselves on having small classes to give your child the attention they deserve, so we never have more than 18 children per class. And we do this without a premium price tag!
Where are the classes held?
We are in a state of the art performance facility called The Exchange - a Theatre with studio spaces just opposite Twickenham Station. Most of our classes are held here in studios with semi-sprung floors and great acoustics. Take a look by clicking on the link.
I want to do a trial but will there be space for me to continue?
As soon as you sign-up for a trial we will reserve your place for the term so you will be able to continue if you decide we’re the right fit for you. There’s never any pressure to sign-up
7. Can I have a discount?
We offer a 20% discount for each sibling. We also offer a 20% discount for our WestWayers who take more than one class with us (Musical Theatre or Private Singing Lessons). The 20% discount will be applied to the cheapest class. Not valid in conjunction with any other offer.
